Words and Music by Margie Adam
Sweet friend of mine it took so long to find you,
all the growing pains behind you right up till now.
Sweet friend of mine it took so long to see you,
all the things you did to free you right up till now.
The sun’s gonna shine and the music will flow
Sweet, sweet friend of mine.
Sweet friend of mine we are together changing,
living lives of rearranging right from the heart.
Sweet friend of mine we are together growing,
standing side by side and knowing right from the heart.
The sun’s gonna shine and the music will flow
Sweet, sweet friend of mine.
Letting others define us kept us apart
now that we’re together, let us begin demanding the things
that give us the wings to fly – to fly – to fly
Sweet friend of mine we are together growing,
standing side by side and knowing right from the heart.
The sun’s gonna shine and the music will flow
Sweet, sweet friend,
sweet sister,
sweet, sweet friend of mine.
